Even A Child Lyrics - Time On Earth - Crowded House

I want to turn on the lights 

I want to keep your hopes alive 

So where do I begin 

To help you believe again 

Makers of secret planes 

Keepers of our last remains 

Dream of a holy state 

In a nightmare time 

You know I meant it well 

But who was it meant to help? 

Even a child knows you dont waste it 

A promise is only given once 

And there is no doubt that changes have begun 

Even a child knows that you can't fake it 

As long as the world is waking up 

You are free now to recover your heart

The stories left to write 

The ebb and flow of my life 

To justify the end 

I'll do everything I can 

And it's a dangerous game 

I heard you tell someone that you don't care 

But I don't believe the message 

And when you sing about love 

What are you thinking of? 

Even a child knows you dont waste it 

As long as the world is waking up 

And there is no doubt that changes have begun 

Even a child knows you don't fake it 

A promise is only given once 

You are free now to go wherever you want

Theres nothing like waking up in some foreign town 

Music is a call to prayer 

Wailing out of the speakers in the market place 

The first time 

Even a child 

Even a child knows you don't waste it 

A present can always be delivered twice 

You are free now to receive the gift of insight 

From now on (lets be open) 

All in time (lets breathe in) 

Am I brave (you're so brave) 

Am I afraid (no not afraid) 

Even a child
